'FAT BOY' MEEHAN LEAVES FOR HOME CARRYING A DOZEN SCALPS OTHER SPORT NEWS
WILLIE MEEHAN, WITH DOZEN
WINS, LEAVES FOR HOME ON
COAST; WILL RETUEN LATER
Fat Boy, Original and
Pleasing, Captured
'Every Bout of East
ern Invasion
AN EVRN dozen ncnlps. besides a bulky
xabaB of Bold dust, were the npolln 'Willie
Mochnn, fat, frisky nnd a fishier, nccumu
luted In less tlmn four months on nn Tiist'
em prospective trip, nnd carried the.m away
with him when he evacuated Philadelphia
for Snn Francisco this mornlni?. Bill's
iRtest accomplishment was a victory over
Larry Williams, former I'hlladolphlan,
who proved the toughest opponent of his
battles here, nt the Otympla last -night.
"tilttle homesick, mil?" was asked of
Median, ns he and his manager, 'Moose
Taussig, waited on the .platform at Broad
Btreet Station as long as possible bofore
the in-ZG Metropolitan Kxprcss pulled out
for Chicago, Whence they will loavo en
route for tho Ooldcn Gate.
"So, not exactly ; but at that I wnnt to
see some of tho old facpB and pals," an
swered the, Jdvlal, over-grown youngslor.
Meehan only reached his majority last
Christmas,
"Can a fish swim?" was the Pat Boy's
crossfire when asked If ho would come
Emit again. "Yes. just as soon as I see
tho old folks, have a few familiar hand
shakes with somo of the boys and see that
tho old Gate Is still in the same place.
Well. I rupss I'll be with you In about
three months "
While Bulky Bill hud a recognized rcpu
.tatlon on the coast, tho walloper of much
Weight Invaded thin side of tho Missis
sippi unheralded. The calibre of his box
ing ability nor who ho had beaten was
unknown. When WIUlo Meehan, of
Frisco was placed on the program for
the big fellow's onatorn debut, few fans
jinew who he was.
And then patrons of the National Club
were greeted to a big surprise, both In
witnessing a tighter of Median's propor
tion and also of his ability. Quartcr-

was a misplaced inhibition. It should hare
been arranged as one of the early pre
liminaries. Sam Itobldeau defeated Jimmy
Duffy, the tough New Yorker, and almost
had him out In tho latter rounds, but
their Infighting stylo did not nppoal to the
fans.
The Abo Kabacoff-WIUlo Jackson set-to
proved two things; that the former was
n. game little youngster and tho New
Yorker was a corking Ilttlo battler, Jack
son distributed nn artistic lacing over the
anatomy of tho Memphis boy, doing It In
a real scientific mnnncr, but Abie's stout
heart enabled him to withstand tho onslaught.
GREYSTOCK PLAYERS GET FOBS
master Smith, of tho United States Navy,
was the coast heavyweight's first oppon
ent after tho sea dog had Bcorod a quick
knockout the previous week. Whon Mee
han entered the ring tho fans started to
howl, "Who's tho big bum?" "lie's In
Youngprno shape!" "Chase him nnd got
a rcguldr fighter"
However, Meehan proved ho was n
regular lighter and more, too, a flstlcuf
flnn whoRC style had never been Been In
a Philadelphia ring before. For two
rounds Meehan hit Smith with rights nnd
lofts from every nngle, and then tho
roforco decided that Median had showed
enough for ono porformnnco.
Then Willie stopped Lew Fink In two
rounds, and followod up with victories,
over Lengthy Boson, Whltey Alton, Jnck
Hubbard, twlco; Andre Anderson. Wild
Burt Kenny, Homer Smith, Jncle Carroll.
Jack Keating nd Larry WIlllnmB. Tho
Allon, Anderson and Kenny tilts wcro
10 rounders In Now York, while ho boxed
Smith nnd Keating In Beading, tho other
engagements being staged here.
All of Moohan's mixes wero Interesting.
He surprised the spectators with new
Btunts every time he ontorcd tho ring. Ho
all but annihilated second raters nnd made
good men look bad with his original stylo.
Bill probably was tho best attraction In
Philadelphia this season.

Let's agree right at the start that wherever there are moving mechan
ical parts and metal-to-metal contact, a certain proportion of f rictior.
that age-old bugbear is unavoidable. Your job and ours is to see"
that this proportion is reduced to its lowest possible terms. This is
where Atlantic Motor Oils figure.
Atlantic Motor Oils divide themselves naturally
into a group of 4 principal lubricants Atlantic
Polarine. Atlantic "Light," Atlantic "Medium"
and Atlantic "Heavy."
For 8 out of 10 can Atlantic Polarine is the 100
percent year-roun ' oil that strikes terror to the
hearts of old General Friction and his corps of
death-dealers.
In certain types of motors and under certain
driving condition!, one of the other 3 Atlantic
Motor Oils listed above may do the trick, better
than Atlantic Folarine. This is a matter for you
to decide in conference with your garaffernan.
The bit; thing to remember is that this group of
4 lubricants -the product of the world's oldest
and largest lubricant manufacturers is the
worst enemy the Friction Army ever lined up
against.
Atlantic Gasoline is the accepted standard
motor-fuel. Atlantic Motor Oils are just as
efficient and important to proper lubrication as
Atlantic Gasoline is to motives power. ,
This lubrication thing is serious better give it
thought.
Read up on thb lubject. We have published a h&ndtome and comprehensive
book about lubrication. It is free. Aik your garage for it. If they cannot

The great idea of the Jeffery engineers who introduced the high-speed,
long-stroke, high-efficiency motor to America has always been to give
maximum power at the speeds which are used most in actual service in
traffic, out on country roads and climbing hills.
Where do you want your motor to
deliver power at a speed of seventy
miles, wnich you would seldom if ever
use, or at speeds of from ten to about
fifty miles, which are the speeds you
most always use?
There is only one common 'sense
answer and that answer guides the
people of Philadelphia who want and
are choosing the Jeffery Six. This
car gives you power enough to go up
hill slowly on high it gives you the
power you need on crowded streets in
heavy traffic it gives you the power
you want on rough country roads,
and in a thousand unforeseen condi
tions. From 3 miles an hour or less
on high up to 60 miles, or more
she is smooth, silent, sure.
Step on the accelerator and you'll
have a power sensation you never
even thought of before. She starts
like a sprinter at the crack of the gun.
And silent! At forty miles an hour
she sings along as sweetly as if she
were just getting ready to make
twenty. Then open the throttle and
you'll learn for the first, time what the
word MOVE really means.
In every way it's the finest nandling car you can imagine.
THE PRICE IS $1450, AND EVERY DOLLAR OF IT REPRESENTS
MORE VALUE GOOD COMMON-SENSE USABLE VALUE THAN
YOU EVER SAW BEFORE.
